Sleeping in!
It's bliss not having to jump out of bed at 5.30 in the morning.
When we do eventually get up, we will potter around getting the house ready for today's Open Home.
Not that it takes us long, cos the house never really gets messed up now.
I will put a loaf on in the Bread Maker again, only this time I'll be doing a SMALL loaf, not the Extra Large one. No way do I want to have burning bread again.
ABOVE: While at market yesterday we were talking to a fellow stall holder. She was saying she isn't looking forward to summer as she over heats. Same as me. She showed me what she uses to keep cool. A portable fan, which runs on either electricity, or it's own rechargeable battery.My brain cogs started churning over, and I was like, shit I need one of those!
So at some point today we shall go to Bunnings and have a look for one.
Stew said he will get me one for my Christmas Present. How nice of him.
And that is all I have for now... catch ya later.
1.48 pm. All is ready for Open Home.
We spent the morning doing the usual jobs, then headed off to Gilmours. A wholesale shop.
Steve had a business card allowing him to shop there, so we went as well.
It's very much like Costco, but on a smaller scale.
We all ended up buying some stuff.
ABOVE: Stew being a dick in the chiller. ABOVE: Let's not even wonder where he gets it from.
We are now parked up down the road waiting for the Open Home to start. We go home once it's over.
Hoping for a few viewers.
Well.. we had a group through today that are VERY interested. So now we wait to see what happens next.
They have to sell their current home... so it might take a while to progress.
Dummy dee doooo.
We are going out again soon, to look at portable fans.
We had a visitor arrive after our Open Home, so the shopping had to wait.
Once he had left we took off to Mitre 10 and Bunnings to look at portable fans.
First up we looked at a Stanley fan, as we already have a couple of Stanley tools that run on batteries. But the Stanley fan was gutless.
So off to Bunnings we went, to check out the one I was shown on the weekend. (the Ryobi).
It was perfect, a good gutsy one.
ABOVE: It is going to be very nice to use on a bloody hot day, when we are out and about... like at a park, the beach or a market. Or even just out on our patio. The battery lasts a long time too, so that's neat.
After that bit of shopping, we went to the supermarket for the 'essential' supply of Diet Coke and a few other things, and are now home.
We have a cooked chook, coleslaw and bread for our dinner this evening. Yummm.
8.45 pm: Well our dinner was lovely. And now we are just doing the usual, tv and relaxing till bedtime.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Is the fan for home or for when you do markets? We have rechargable fans in the motorhome which we bought from Mitre 10 and they are great. There are so many brands out there though! That Ryobi One fan would use a rechargable battery which also runs other things. We have the Ryobi lawn mower which uses the same battery and also the drill. You add other tools and use the same battery. There is a massive range of tools that use the one battery.
ReplyDeleteWe also picked one brand and the leaf blower, weed wacker, etc all operate off the same batteries.
DeleteWe have multiple identical batteries and two charging stands.
It simplifies everything (so much!) have one brand.

Greetings! From yesterday's photo it doesn't seem like you will need a fan anytime soon!
ReplyDeleteI do understand though - it gets toasty in the sun under those tents!
We have the full Ryobi range - they all use the same batteries! Lawnmower, edger, whipper snipper, drills...great!
ReplyDeleteLol lol love your silly fellas. Miss mine. Kj
ReplyDeleteI wanna go shopping in that huge place. Oh boy, I'd have to take out a loan to pay for it all!
ReplyDeleteBoys will be boys, whatever their age lol. A happy family 😊😊
Well that would be great if the other people's home sold quick and everything lines up. My mom brought a fan to the last super hot event I did and it didn't help much. Probably needed a "more power" one lol
